At least 61,158 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel's genocidal war in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, including 193 people who died of starvation, the Ministry of Health revealed on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, as reported by Anadolu.
A ministry statement mentioned that 138 bodies had been brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, including 25 bodies of the victims of a truck aid accident in central Gaza. Meanwhile, 771 people were injured, bringing the total number of casualties to 151,442 in the Israeli onslaught.
The ministry also stated that five more people died of starvation and malnutrition in the past day, bringing the total death toll since October 2023 to 193 people, including 96 children.
Jordan reported that Israeli settlers attacked an aid convoy heading to Gaza on Wednesday in the second incident in a few days. Amman accused Israel of failing to take firm action to prevent repeated attacks.
The convoy, carrying 30 humanitarian aid trucks, experienced a delayed arrival that violated the signed agreement, government spokesperson Mohammad al-Momani said, as reported by Al Arabiya.
“This requires a serious Israeli intervention and no leniency in dealing with those who obstruct these convoys,” Momani said.
Gaza authorities' report noted that 87 Palestinians died and another 570 were injured while seeking humanitarian aid in the last day, bringing the total number of Palestinians who died while seeking aid to 1,655, with over 11,800 others injured since May 27.
Israel has imposed a blockade on Gaza for 18 years and, since March 2, has closed all crossings, blocking the entry of humanitarian aid and worsening conditions for the 2.4 million inhabitants of the area.
According to the Gaza Government Media Office, Israel has only allowed the entry of 843 aid trucks since July 27 - far below the 6,000 trucks needed to meet the daily needs of the population for 10 days.
The Israeli army resumed its attack in the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 9,754 people and injured 39,401 others, shattering the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in effect since January.
Last November, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for its war in the enclave.
